Gas now, solar later?

Post date: 2021-03-05 05:49:23

We are in the process of converting what we can in our home to a more friendly energy sources. Currently we have an oil boiler for heating and local utility for electric. The previous owners had a natural gas line run to the house, but no meter has been installed.

We are in process on having a solar estimate done, we have great roof exposure and feel it will likely be a good plan for the electrical side of things. The boiler is a bit more complicated. We have a relatively new boiler that can be converted to Natural Gas. Initially we thought why not get a electric boiler, but so far I have been told that the technology is not there yet and it would be smarter to convert to natural gas until an all electric solution is established.

We would also love to have natural gas for cooking, but that is a luxury in this scenario.

I just wanted some feedback on the idea of installing an electric boiler? Or something that we may not be considering?

Thanks
